- LA Weekly writes about how L.A. is becoming less of a backdrop and more of an actual setting in TV. Bosch is mentioned, plus we’ve got True Detective, Fear the Walking Dead, Togetherness and more.
- There's going to be a two-part Harry Potter play that focuses on exploring the early years of the boy wizard. As in, it's such a grandiose story that it will be produced in two installments. Rowling also has a new mystery series coming to the BBC.
- This awesome 86-year-old plane enthusiast gets to check out an A380 and, obviously, loves it.
- An Indian restaurant in West London apologizes for writing "very mild, white ppl" on a man's receipt because he ordered mild curry. The customer said he thought it was "very rude of them." The owner defended himself by saying he meant 'milk,' not 'ppl.'
- This baby mountain lion had to be rescued from a wildfire. He was pretty beat up, but he's gonna make it.
- Check out thesestunning photos of Not-A-Planet Pluto.
- Morrissey wrote a sex scene for his new novel List of the Lost that refers to a penis as a "bulbous salutation" and describes barrel-rolling breasts. It's possibly a worse description of sex than anything mentioned in 50 Shades. …Maybe.
- Authorities found 360 pounds of cocaine hidden among pumpkins and various squash in Philadelphia. That would have been one heck of a Halloween party.
- And finally, here's a dog tucking in a baby.
